‘Tween Wishin’ and Prayin’

Three years of hoping and prayingFor help and assistance for food and rentLeaves me in an awkward place

When all that help and assistance Needs its own for its own sake.

Wishing has become more prevalent As the truly helpful assistants Have only been able to wish me good luck.

Prayer works better. Fortunately, she prayed While I felt forsaken and began wishing instead. As a wisher, I stopped asking for help and assistance. Through prayer, she asked the right Helper And received.

I sat there with wish in one hand… The other hand filled faster And that’s all the difference ‘Tween wishin’ and prayin’.
